35 Maple Grove EstatesSwanton, VT 05488Price: $609,000

This home is as close to new as you can get but without the wait for new construction. This home has high end finish work and a very impressive master bedroom setup with a doorless tile shower. The curb appeal is impressive and you'll see the quality craftsmanship before you get through the main entry door. You won't be let down when you get in and see the staircase with impressive stairway and 9 ft ceilings on the first floor. The open kitchen living dining has granite counters with cabinets to the ceiling and a walk-in pantry. You'd have your work cut out to fill all this kitchen space and an island with a breakfast bar leads to a living room with built-in shelving. An additional room on this floor could be a formal dining area or a living space. The entry area from the garage has a true "mudroom" with a deep sink and a 1/2 bath. The first floor also benefits from an office with built-in shelving. The first floor also has radiant heat and a minisplit heat/AC pump. The second floor is equally impressive with an 18x21 master bedroom and an 11x10 master bath with open tile shower and twin vanity. The second floor benefits from 2 heat/AC pumps, one in the master and one to support the two additional bedrooms that share a full bath with tile surround. No stairs here for the laundry. A laundry room is on the bedroom level. The garage won't disappoint either as it's a 26x30 with overhead storage area that is accessed by a stairway in the garage. The backyard has a stone patio and is encased in trees. Maple Grove Estates is a sought-after development and you'd be hard pressed to build this at this price with this level of finish work. The home is just a couple miles from the Champlain Country Club and 3 miles from I-89 exit 20 St. Albans.
